Common Questions About the Tago Mago Tone
What amp was Tago Mago recorded with?
Every one of the Tago Mago tracks in our catalog was tracked on a Twin Reverb (modern equivalent: Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue). ToneMirror rewrites those settings for whatever amp you own - a different EQ curve and gain structure landing on the same recorded sound.
What guitar was used on Tago Mago?
The Stratocaster (modern equivalent: Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster) appears on the most Tago Mago tracks in our catalog. You don't need one - the settings are calibrated to the recorded tone, so they translate to the guitar you already have.

Across the 2 guitar tracks from Tago Mago we've catalogued, the median is gain 5 (range 5–5), with bass 5, mid 5, treble 6 on a 0–10 scale. That's the record's window rather than any one song's recipe - pick a track above for the exact knob positions it was recorded with.

The Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face shows up on the most tracks here, alongside the Cry Baby (modern equivalent: Dunlop Cry Baby 95Q Wah). Every track breakdown lists that song's full signal chain in order, and the match engine substitutes what you own for what you don't.
